Chapter 80: Never give up
I let a smile fall on my lips. "Hey, Sam," I greeted with a small wave. "I finally managed to catch you," I commented casually.
He arched a brow at me. "What do you mean that you finally managed to catch me?" He questioned as his eyes burned with curiosity. Then all of a sudden, it finally clicked inside his head. "Have you been waiting for me?"
"Mhmm..." I muttered under my breath as I nodded lightly. "I wanted to talk to you."
"You know..." he began, his voice trailing off. "If this is about your ex-husband and his dreams, then there’s nothing much I can do," he said blatantly, going straight to the point, much to my disappointment.
My face fell in an instant, thinking that my plan had to be put on hold, but I found a new wave of determination that washed over me and mostly a thirst for revenge, after all, revenge is a dish best served cold.
He was just about to walk off when I stopped him. "Sam, wait!" I called out and he halted in his steps and turned around to face me.
"What is it?" He asked, his tone slightly impatient. "I don’t have time for this."
"Could you please just hear me out?" I pleaded, my voice laced with a hint of desperation as we locked eyes. There was a brief pause as silence lapsed between us for a moment before I spoke up once again. "I really want things to work out for him."
He let out a soft sigh and he stepped forward to close the gap between us. "Why is that, Aurellia? He assaulted and berated you yesterday," he reminded me as a small frown crept onto his face. "Why are you still doing all these for him?"
